ABSTRACT
Telašćica Bay is situated in the central part of the eastern Adriatic coast, in the SE part of the island 
of Dugi otok. In 1980, this area became protected due to its exceptionally valuable plant and animal 
life, geological and geomorphological features, valuable colonies of the sea bottom and interesting 
archaeological heritage. The bay, which is surrounded by 13 islands and islets, together with 6 islets 
inside the bay of Telašćica itself, was proclaimed a Nature Park in 1988. 
Total area of the Nature Park is 70.50km2, of which 25.95km2 covers the land, and 44.55 km2 the sea. 
There are beautifully cultivated meadows and hillsides, rich with Mediterranean vegetation with more 
than 500 species of flora and equally rich fauna. The undersea world has more than 250 plant and 300 
animal species. 
IZVLEČEK
Zaliv Telašćica leži v jugovzhodnem delu Dugega otoka v osrednjem delu vzhodne jadranske obale. 
Leta 1980 je območje postalo zaščiteno zaradi svojih izjemno dragocenih rastlinskih in živalskih vrst, 
geoloških in geomorfoloških pojavov, dragocenih kolonij na morskem dnu in zanimive arheološke 
dediščine. Zaliv, ki ga obdaja 13 otokov in otočkov, skupaj s 6 otočki znotraj zaliva samega, je bil leta 
1988 razglašen za naravni park.
